I am in a unique gap of time before I start my new job in April. I want to make the most of this opportunity by doing something I've never done—and likely won't get the chance to do again until I retire. Since my new job is related to organic plants, I don't just want to sell them; I want to understand where they come from and experience the farm life for myself.

I’ve joined WWOOF to slow down from the hustle of the city and connect with local people learning new skills in anything related to nature and animal care, especially organic practices and permaculture. I truly believe that the WWOOFing approach reflects my values and I’d like to give my contribution.

I'm really interested in self-sufficient, permaculture, or some way to live with animals and nature. In this modern era, we even don't know where the food we eat every day comes from. We just go to a supermarket, buying some packed foods and consume them, then throw away many plastic. I don't know how a farmer grow vegetables, picking/packing, transporting to the market. I don't know how to milk a cow, how to kill pigs, how many people are related to transport these products and determine the market price. I feel this is crazy. I want to know and experience how foods I consume every day are produced and come to the table. I often search how to start self-sufficient life, wondering how to do, and found the best way is to learn from people who realise the self-sufficient life. There're several work exchange sites to provide similar service to WWOOF like Helpx, Workaway, and I'm also interested in such services because cultural exchanges is also very attractive. However, my main purpose is to learn how to realise the self-sufficient life, permaculture or any sustainable way of life. WWOOF is the best work exchange sites to connect with the host.

We live in the hills of Perth Western Australia on 7 acres of land. It has been set up as semi of grid. We work full time, I work in Mental Health and hubby is a fly in fly out miner so not home all that much 🙁 We have plenty of animals we take care of, these include horse, dogs, chooks and bees. Part of our love is to work the bee hives up to about 80 of them. We sell our honey to family, friends and markets, also I make a lot of by products from the honey and wax such as candles, wax wraps, melts and we also do infused honey for health benefits. Our community of bee keepers are very helpful but always needing an extra hand with the hives. My local community we share our extra crops we have with fruits, eggs and what other things we have an abundance off. I am in our local CWA Country Women's Association where we volunteer out time helping out others by raising funds for different groups or schools and I'm also a member of our local Community support group, where help address concerns in our community like clean up Australia, planting trees to writing letters to the local council of road conditions or fallen trees. I have three horses that I help teach others to ride and also those with disabilities. I have 6 Labrador dogs which are also I breed as another side line business (I am a registered breeder), and use them in my pet therapy groups or one to one with those with disabilities or PTSD. I have a two rooms one queen size and the other with tow single beds in with a shared bathroom and you have a beautiful deck over seeing the rustic bushland that we are surrounded by, you can see the local wild life of kangaroos, birds, bandicoots and others. Others that share the house are and my step son who works full time. There is a indoor heated swimming pool for use too. Our property is very quiet and well set of the road so no disturbances there- maybe the cockatoos (local birds) may wake you up. I hope this is a short summary of mine and hubby's life.

I would like to join WWOOFing in Australia to embrace new experiences, connect with diverse people, and develop skills while traveling. Ready for the adventure!

Hare Krishna, We are a small 5 acre farm near Sydney. We are literally just starting out, and wish to promote bhakti yoga and the principle of si.ple living-high thinking. We have a temple program of sankirtan (chanting and singing together) as well as our own contemplative practices. You are welcome to join in, or not, but you should be respectful. We have 4 bedroom house and caravans. Plenty of room for tents, and the best food in the 3 worlds. Just help out in the garden, or with the cow (coming soon). Learn how to make jams, pickles and bake bread etc. And if you know something we would love to learn from you.

In 2026, we are planning to use our LSL and take our family on the road around Australia. A big part of this trip will be education for our kids (who will be aged 5-11 in 2026). We think working on different types of farms will be a great, practical, hands-on way to learn a lot about our food and our country, and connect in with the local community. We also think it will be a great opportunity for them (and us) to develop confidence and skills that city kids don't often get much of a chance at. In addition, we're really interested in sustainable farming practices like regenerative agriculture.

This gives me the opportunity to meet local people in remote areas and also to make contacts where they live. As i said before, it will also give me the opportunity to learn more about myself far away from home and working with new people. My step brother spoke to me about that many years ago, I really wanted to do it.

We are a small-scale family farm located in the Swan Valley, just 25 minutes from Perth. Our main focus is animal husbandry, with cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens that we care for daily. Alongside this, we grow a variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables and bake wood-fired bread, all of which we sell at our weekend farmers market.

We joined WWOOF because we want to travel, meet people, and do something useful. We don’t have experience in farming yet, but we are very motivated to learn. We like to work outside, help others, and learn about sustainable living. We want to start soon, get experience, and see the world from a new point of view.

 

I'm keen to see Australia and I love spending time and working on farms. I enjoy travelling wwoofing seems like a great way to experience the country in a deeper way- getting to know the people and land through working with them.

I joined WWOOF because I love nature and want to experience farm life in Australia. I want to learn many new things, meet kind people, and help with daily work. I believe this experience will make me grow and understand Australian life better.

We are looking for new experiences and meeting interesting people. We are travelling around Australia and want to stop and experience some of the many different regions of this great country that we haven’t had the chance to get to know yet.

Have a 3-level home in the Perth Hills which is about 35 minutes from the city.  Most of the vegetation is natural and we have garden work to be done. We would prefer person's in their 30's, We have one room for WWOOFer so best for couples or single person. We have a small orchard.

We are situated at the base of the Tomowin Mountain Range that divides Queensland and NSW. We are close to Mt Cougal National Park, where meandering natural rock pools wind through the tranquil rainforest. We are also close to Currumbin beach. Although we are in the rural sector , our property is a compact average suburban block of ground. Still we have a good variety of organic tropical fruit and citrus trees, and a compact garden.

Small self sustaining family hobby farm near Litchfield National Park and Berry Springs. It's a beautiful farming g region only 45mins to Darwin. A beautiful oasis hobby farm, lots of animals and gardening, with loads of great options nearby for swimming, fishing, and adventures. Also not far from all the fun of Darwin!

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I can do to contribute to the health of our planet. At the same time, I’ve also been trying to figure out what I truly love and what I want to do in life. I decided to apply for WWOOF because I believe it could give me some clues and inspiration to find the answers.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience authentic farm life, learn from local hosts, and contribute in a meaningful way. It’s a great opportunity to connect with nature, meet inspiring people, and grow personally while helping out.
